The Warcart is a shopping cart retrofitted with just about every sort of wireless sniffing device available. It has pivoting antennas and a smoke grenade launcher. It can even dispense infected USB flash drives. It's part of a talk about subway fare-collection-system vulnerabilities that will be given at Defcon 16 in a few days." "Mostly as a joke," says the site — but only mostly.

    Good. While you're doing it,
    loan me a gun. Two guns.

    You'd use these weapons against men
    and women who uphold the law?

    We use these weapons
    to shop for groceries, ****.
